Just Saying Hey

(05/01/14 3:56pm)

In case the swarm of juniors taking over Locust decked out in hats and canes didn't tip you off, Hey Day is finally here! Now, what exactly happens on Hey Day, you plebeian underclassmen ask? OBVIOUSLY, a simple, sober procession down Locust is the main attraction! Activities that rival those of Fling are going down as we write this post, and we're here to provide our own reimagining of one of those sacred traditions: the Quad encounter between the drunken junior and the current freshman living in what was once that junior's room.


What's HapPENNing?

(04/21/14 1:33pm)

Could it be? Could this really be the last full week of classes? As you emerge from whatever haze you're in this morning, whether the result of too many bongs, bunnies, or bubbes, get ready to fill up your Google Calendar as we all try to take advantage of these last few fleeting weeks of the semester. But bear with us, because there's a lot of shit going on.

How totally psychedelic! Like it or not, we'll be documenting each and every one of your dude-even-the-Quad-security-thought-I-was-sober, oops-no-I'm-definitely-more-drunk-than-I-thought-I-was, well-what-do-we-have-here-I'm-blackout, nahhh-bitch-I-just-blacked-in, and-now-I'm-ready-to-rally, moves beginning Friday (tonight? Thursday?). Read on to find out the least peaceful and loving things that will be taking place sooner than you can say fling, flang, FLUNG.

Advance Registration for Fall classes closes tonight at midnight -- in case you didn't already know (which you probably didn't, otherwise we wouldn't have bothered to write this post). So go on and get to planning the rest of your college career in approximately 3 hours! Is there any better way to spend a Sunday night?



The Top Eight Edgiest Names On The 38th Street Bridge

(03/29/14 9:57pm)

We here at UTB take seriously our commitment to provide you all with the juiciest, sauciest, most scandalous gossip on campus. That's why we've decided to foray into the world of investigative journalism, as we uncover the eight edgiest names that appear on various plaques on the 38th Street Bridge. Blood, sweat, tears--and rain--went into the compilation of this list, which we understand may cause a bit of a controversy. Read on if you think you can handle it.



Yet Another Reminder That Hill Will Always Be Hill

(03/09/14 7:51pm)

Just when we thought Hill was making a name for itself, it had to go and do this. Look, we're all for a bit of friendly competition between the sexes, but c'mon Hill Council--why the not-so-subtle stereotyping? Honestly, this email just leaves us wondering if the "Top-Ranked Male" would be allowed to get a jersey in pink. Ugh, just more proof that Beyoncé really is flawless.

Add period ends tomorrow -- So stop acting like you can get away with taking four classes again this semester and register for a fifth. Seriously, are you trying to graduate on time, or... ?

Free clam chowdah at Doc Macgrogan's until 6 p.m. -- Because Philly doesn't know how to function when it snows, the Oyster House is offering cups of New England's finest on the house to soothe our storm-induced anxieties. Stop by if you're in the hood (for some reason) and pretend that you're a resident of a region that actually knows what winter weather is like.


This Snapchat's A Winner

(12/16/13 6:29pm)

A brief list of what we appreciate most about this snapchat of some SAE brothers, which was featured in this past week's "Fail Friday" roundup on Total Frat Move, in no particular order: all the Miley tongues, the lack of explanation for why everyone is shirtless, that one kid who's rubbing his nipples seductively, that other kid who's utterly elated at being sprawled across all his bros, and of course, the caption. We're not exactly sure of what you won, but we're proud. Thank you for the welcome distraction, but alas, we must get back to studying.


Paws For A Cause

(12/03/13 11:06pm)

Drowning in the escapable stress that is the end-of-semester crunch? Not to worry, because Penn Vet is at it again. Tomorrow from 12 p.m. to 2 p.m., bring your pet to the hospital to get its picture taken with Santa. That's right. SANTA CLAUS AND A DOG IN THE SAME PICTURE. It's Santa Paws!
